Terahertz spectroscopy of quantum 2D electron systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy permits the coherent motion of charges to be examined in a diverse range of two-dimensional semiconductor heterostructures. Studies of the THz conductivity and magnetoconductivity of two-dimensional quantum systems are reviewed, including cyclotron resonance spectroscopy and the transverse conductivity in the Hall and quantum Hall regimes. Experiments are described that demonstrate quantum phenomena at THz frequencies, principally coherent control and enhanced light–matter coupling in electromagnetic cavities.

Terahertz Waveguide Spectroscopy of Two - Dimensional Plasmons in GaAs
The electrical characteristics of high-mobility, two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) systems, such as GaAs quantum wells, have been well-studied at low frequencies and in extreme conditions of high magnetic fields and ultralow temperatures. While highfrequency excitations of 2DEGs have been examined to some extent from microwave to terahertz (THz) frequencies, a fundamental understanding of the...
متن کاملStrong correlation of electronic and lattice excitations in GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductor quantum wells revealed by two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy.
Coulomb-mediated interactions between intersubband excitations of electrons in GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum wells and longitudinal optical phonons are studied by two-dimensional spectroscopy in the terahertz frequency range. The multitude of diagonal and off-diagonal peaks in the 2D spectrum gives evidence of strong polaronic signatures in the nonlinear response. A quantitative theoretical analys...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional-Raman-terahertz spectroscopy of water: theory.
We discuss the hybrid 2D-Raman-THz spectroscopy of liquid water. This two-dimensional spectroscopy is designed to directly work in the low-frequency range of the intermolecular degrees of freedom. The information content of 2D-Raman-THz spectroscopy is similar to 2D-Raman or 2D-THz spectroscopy, but its experimental implementation should be easier. That is, 2D-Raman-THz spectroscopy is a 3rd-or...
متن کاملParametric excitation of edge and bulk magnetoplasmons in low-dimensional electron systems
The frequency of the edge magnetoplasmons (EMPs) – collective excitations of a two-dimensional (2D) electron system (ES) – depends on the density of electrons ns, magnetic field B, dimensions of a 2D sample, and dielectric properties of the surrounding medium. Depending on these parameters it can be varied in a very wide range, from ω/2π ≃ 1 THz in arrays of microscopic quantum dots in semicond...
متن کاملResonant terahertz absorption by plasmons in grating-gate GaN HEMT structures
Pronounced resonant absorption and frequency dispersion associated with an excitation of collective 2D plasmons have been observed in terahertz (0.5-4THz) transmission spectra of grating-gate 2D electron gas AlGaN/GaN HEMT (high electron mobility transistor) structures at cryogenic temperatures. The resonance frequencies correspond to plasmons with wavevectors equal to the reciprocal-lattice ve...
